The GORE-TEX MembraneThe secret of GORE-TEX products lies within the revolutionary bi-component membrane; both completely waterproof and completely breathable at the same time. The membrane contains over 9 billion microscopic pores which are approximately 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times bigger than a molecule of moisture vapor. So while water in its liquid form cannot penetrate the GORE-TEX® membrane, as moisture vapor it can easily escape.The patented GORE-TEX® membrane makes garments durably waterproof, windproof and breathable so that you stay dry and comfortable.

About Cycling Waterproof Jackets

Waterproof cycle jackets can improve your comfort levels on the bike considerably when the weather turns nasty. Factors such as wind resistance and high breathability are important if you will be riding at a high pace over a fair distance, along with wearing a good quality base or mid layer to help with wicking moisture away from your skin. Waterproof cycle jackets with hi tech fabrics such as GoreTex and eVent are well worth paying a little extra for, if you require high levels of breathability, this will improve protection, dryness and comfort on longer rides in poor conditions.

Gore Path - But the Neon Yellow One
I bought the Neon Yellow version, which is very bright. On a recent Coast and Castles - South (Newcastle to Edinburgh - you must do it! Cracking route, quality scenery) it stood out in the one gloomy/rainy day we had - very visible. Plus, being Gore-Tex, stupidly waterproof and incredibly breathable. Rolls-up small, considering it's not a race shell.
I'm a 37"-38" chest and the "small" size fits me well - the size guides are not accurate.

Great jacket but ££££!
A really good jacket with a wide range of usable temperatures thanks to it's breathability.
It had a good testing in a recent summer monsoon, where the road was close to flooding - and I was bone dry and comfortable inside
When rolled up tightly, it can fit into an ample sized back pocket
If it lasts for a few years, I'll consider it good value, but it's too soon to say!

Really odd sizing
I'm a 39" chest yet a medium absolutely buried me - loose at the neck, voluminous in the body and somewhat long in the sleeves. So I tried a small. The neck and sleeves were were fine but it was far too tight on the shoulders and short in the body. Loved the quality but the fit was downright wierd. I have had no choice but to return it and look for an alternative. If anyone has any suggestions I should be pleased to hear them.

There appears to be a problem when answering questions.I thought this question was from the Altura Mahem Jacket - that does come with a hood. I came to this question through the Altura Mahem Jacket review page!So my post that this jacket comes with a hood is for the Altura Mahem Jacket and dose not apply here!To give some suggestion for the initial question... possibly the jacket has provision for a hood, the velcro is already on the jacket for a hood. But the hood is not supplied.An alternative to the hood is to use a shower hood - used to keep hair dry in the shower. It can also be used to cover the seat to keep that dry too. They are cheap and can be had in a clear plastic that will go over your helmet.

No, no hood supplied. I chose the Path because the neck fits quite snugly and hood storage would make it quite bulky. If you need a hood I suggest you go for one of the other Gore jackets (I think the Oxygen has one).

I want to order this jacket but am a little unsure as to which size to order. I'm 5'9", have a 42"/107cm chest and am neither fat nor slim. Gore's size guide suggests I should order a XXL - If these are sized similar to Northwave products that would be correct but I wear a size large for Endura goods and this jacket is not supposed to have a race cut. Some of the reviews imply that this jacket has a large cut. Any help with sizing would be most appreciated.

Answer:

I didn't wait for Wiggle's answer, taking the plunge last week I ordered the jacket in XL. The jacket feels fine when stood in the living room. I have quite wide shoulders and have found the pre-shaped arms and slightly clingy inner coating can make the jacket feel a little restrictive at times (mountain biking), the feeling is very dependant on the layer worn underneath. The cut appears better suited to riding a road bike but I do both so that's ok. I suspect the XXL would have been too big especially in the gut area - This jacket is cut for extra beer and cake which will come in very handy.
